On Tuesday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked on the phone with Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel. The Israeli prime minister told PM Modi about the latest developments in the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Both leaders were worried about how safe it was for ships to travel. PM Modi said again that the people who were affected need more humanitarian aid. He pushed for an early and peaceful end to the conflict through talks and diplomacy, which included freeing all the hostages.
Prime Minister’s Office said in a press release, “The Prime Minister stressed the need for ongoing humanitarian aid for the affected population and called for an early and peaceful resolution of the conflict through dialogue and diplomacy, including the release of all hostages.” Each leader agreed to keep in touch.
PM Modi wrote on X, “Had a productive exchange of views with PM @netanyahu on the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, including shared concerns about the safety of maritime traffic.” India has always pushed for the early return of peace and stability in the region and for continued humanitarian aid to be sent to those who have been affected.
Israel released a statement saying that PM Modi and Netanyahu also talked about how important it was to protect freedom of navigation in the Bab-el-Mandeb. The two leaders talked about how important it is for everyone to keep attacks on the world economy, trade, and the economies of India and Israel at bay.
“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke today with Indian Prime Minister @NarendraModi,” the office of the Israeli prime minister wrote on X. The two leaders talked about how important it was to protect freedom of navigation in the Bab-el-Mandeb, which is in danger because of the Houthis’ attacks, which are supported by Iran.
It went on to say, “They also talked about how important it is for everyone to stop attacks on the global economy and trade, as well as on the Indian and Israeli economies.” Modi, the prime minister of India, said that freedom of navigation is a global need that must be met.
According to a statement released by the Israel Prime Minister’s Office on X, PM Modi and Netanyahu talked about speeding up the process of bringing Indian workers to Israel.
The Israel Prime Minister’s Office wrote on X, “The two leaders also talked about speeding up the arrival of Indian workers in the State of Israel.” Prime Minister Netanyahu thanked Prime Minister Modi of India for supporting Israel’s right to fight a war against the terrorist group Hamas.
It is important to note that the war between Israel and Hamas began when the terrorist group invaded southern Israel and killed over 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took over 200 hostages. Jerusalem has promised to destroy Hamas.
And in Gaza, the health ministry, which is run by Hamas, said that at least 19,667 Palestinians have died in the war between Israel and Hamas since October 7, when Hamas attacked Israel. This was reported by The Times of Israel.
A report in The Times of Israel said that 52,586 people in Gaza have been hurt in the fighting that has been going on for more than two months. The numbers can’t be checked because Hamas doesn’t tell the difference between combatants and civilians.
